<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"> <p>If you are renting (chartering) a bus, the bus company assumes all the liability for any accident involving the bus.<br /></p><ol><li>Check the <a href="http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/safety-security/PCS/Consumers.aspx" target="_blank">federal web site</a> to make sure that the bus company is approved (satisfactory). If the company is not listed on the site, ask the company if they are registered under another name. If they do not have a "satisfactory" rating, you may not use them. You must use a company that does have a satisfactory rating.</li><li>Obtain a certificate of insurance showing $5 million in limits from the bus company in conjunction with your contract with them for services. DOT regulations require a minimum of $5 million in limits. Auto insurers will not add third parties to their insurance policies as additional insureds, so the certificate is sufficient. Make sure that the certificate comes from their agent, not the company itself.</li><li>Follow your school’s guidelines for contracting for services.</li></ol></div></div></div>Wed, 16 May 2012 18:48:41 +00000090214@amherst.edu1976 at https://www.fivecolleges.eduhttps://www.fivecolleges.edu/riskmgmt/policies_procedures/bus/node/1976#comments
